I stepped out and it was beautiful and I did not want to miss it. There was not even a hint of a breeze and the sun was out and it was warm. It was less than two weeks from the official beginning of winter. Tomorrow was more of the same. Then the temperature will drop and the weather would become more seasonable. I wanted to catch part of the day outside. Soon this gorgeous weather would just be a memory and I will have to bundle up every time I go outside. Maybe I will go fishing tomorrow. It will be more of the same temperatures. And I want to take advantage of it. Such weather was precious this time of year and the forecast for this winter was that it would be a cold one. I don’t want this day to slip away.

I want to stay put today. It is going to be a gorgeous day. There are things to do around the house and particularly the garden. There are primrose that need to be planted–four different colored buds and they are putting more flowers out. Radishes need to be planted. Onion sets, too. The earth has to be prepared for them. There is only a small window for that. They like the cold weather. I do not want to go far today. If I only did those three things today, I will be happy. The furthest I want to go away is in town. It is going to be a beautiful day.

Spring is now one week and one day away give or take an hour or two. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and it was, at least fifty, degrees outside. Pretty soon this cold weather will just be a memory. Of course, nothing is forever. I will just experience today. That is all I have. And sometimes that is all you can focus on—today. So I will enjoy today exactly how it is. And worry about tomorrows. Another day.

All of a sudden I did not want to spend much time inside. I stepped out side and it was warm and sunny and not even an hint of a breeze. I was refilling my bird feeder with sunflower seed.
It was a perfect Autumn day. I told Lynelle about it and urged her to go out. I wanted to do whatever I had to do inside and quickly to experience this beautiful day. I don’t know how many of these “gifts” would come along. I was not taking anything for granted.

Spring finally arrived. Today was its entrance. The forecast said it would hit seventy today. The sky was perfectly blue with not a cloud in the sky and all I wanted to do was go fishing.
There was one small detail to overcome–I had not gotten my license yet but you get the idea how beautiful the first day of spring was. The countdown was over.
And I know it will have arrived for good when the days melt into each other and I no longer think about spring. We creatures take the weather for granted awfully quick but not too long.
This is a temperate climate. And the weather changes before you know it. Today I will celebrate spring. At least, for one day.
